Using Switch to feed 2 Routers
Is it possible to connect from my cable modem (bridge mode) to the TL-SG105PE and split the signal to 2 independent routers, and have 2 separate LAN's essentially?
Do the routers need to be in AP or bridge mode? Will the switch assign IP's?
Do I need ingress and egress ports in my vlan config or just outgoing.
Routers are AXE75 and WRT3200ACM
Thanks

Hi @Lastoknow
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
I don't think this is a generic use. Very unusual. But there were some cases people use it in that way.
If this is your bridge mode router gives you, the IP 192.168.1.137, you can use the switch. Because actually, you are still using the switch as a device in LAN(192.168.1.0/24). So it works.
But if you tell me that you are getting a public IP address, then, the answer is no. You cannot use it. You cannot get a single pub IP to two different routers.
Would recommend you get some materials/articles about the NAT. That would be helpful in your understanding in this case.
